This lever action barrel pump moves lubricants and fuels straight out of upright drums by hand. It screws into a standard 2-inch bung opening, moving up to 11 ounces with each stroke through the included hose so you do not need an electric hookup. Features and Benefits
- Mechanical lever linkage - Gives you extra leverage to pump thick motor oils easily
- Telescoping suction pipe - Extends to the bottom of 15-gallon and 55-gallon storage drums
- Integrated 2-inch bung adapter - Threads directly into drum bungs to stop the pump from wobbling
- Textured rubber handle - Keeps your grip steady when pumping cold, heavy gear lube Applications
- Pumping motor oil and hydraulic fluid in repair shops
- Transferring diesel fuel from storage barrels to field equipment
- Dispensing workshop lubricants and antifreeze from standing drums
What It Is
This tool is a lever-action hand oil pump designed for manual fluid transfer from bulk storage containers. Built from steel and polyethylene, it mounts directly into drums ranging from 15 to 55 gallons (55 to 200 litres). It features an 880 mm suction tube that reaches deep into standard barrels to draw out settled fluids. Operating via a mechanical lever arm rather than electric power, the pump delivers a consistent flow rate of 300 ml per stroke, giving you controlled, repeatable dispensing without the need for power cords or compressed air lines.
Key Uses & Applications
This barrel pump handles routine workshop fluid transfer, machinery refuelling, and bulk lubricant dispensing. Suitable fluids include petrol, diesel, lubricating oils, and other non-corrosive workshop liquids.
- Decanting engine oil and hydraulic fluids from 200-litre drums into smaller measuring jugs.
- Transferring diesel or petrol directly into plant, site generators, or machinery fuel tanks.
- Draining settled lubricants from storage barrels without tipping or moving heavy drums.
- Emptying non-corrosive industrial liquids safely in fleet garages, agricultural yards, and engineering workshops.
How to Choose
Select your transfer pump based on your container depth, liquid type, and volume requirements. If you are learning how to use a siphon pump or transfer pump, check that the 880 mm suction tube matches your barrel depth so it draws from the bottom. For buyers wondering how to siphon gas with a hand pump or how to use siphon pump setups safely, verify chemical resistance first. This unit handles petrol, diesel, and lubricants, but corrosive acids will damage the internal seals. Finally, consider delivery speed; at 300 ml per stroke, this lever-action tool suits steady, measured dispensing rather than high-volume bulk decanting.

Q: What volume does this hand oil pump move per stroke? A: The lever mechanism transfers about 300 to 350 ml of liquid with each full downward stroke. The telescoping suction tube adjusts from 18 to 35 inches to fit different container sizes.. Q: What materials make up the pump housing and lever assembly? A: The main pump body uses cast iron with a chrome-plated steel piston rod and a rubber-grip handle. The discharge spout and bung adapter are zinc-plated to stop rust caused by moisture.. Q: What size drums does this lever pump thread into? A: It threads into standard 2-inch bung openings on 15, 30, and 55-gallon steel or plastic barrels. It handles motor oil up to 90 weight, transmission fluid, diesel, and non-corrosive water-based liquids.. Q: What kind of warranty does the drum pump include? A: You get a two-year warranty that covers the lever linkage, barrel threads, and main piston assembly. The policy covers repairs or replacement if parts crack under standard pumping operation.. Q: Why pick a manual lever pump over a rotary hand pump? A: The lever design gives you more leverage on cold, thick gear oils that can jam rotary blades. It also has fewer moving parts to clean out when switching between oil types..
